Jerome Robbins' Broadway. Lithograph, 211/2x291/2 inches. Printers proof, signed and annotated in pencil, lower margin. 1989 "Jerry Robbins pointed the way for the America theater for a long time. Here he is, a theater giant surrounded by all the shows he choreographed. On the Town, 1944; Peter Pan, 1954; Gypsy, 1959; West side Story, 1957; Billion Dollar baby, 1945; The King and I, 1951; Fiddler on the Roof, 1954; High Button shoes, 1947; A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 1962. He had just as much fun doing it all as he appears to be having here. Everything is vibrant, everything spectacularly costumed, everything full of the joy of life. Which are the joys of musical theater at its sophisticated best. I vividly remember when he devised for Fiddler the dancing rabbis (balancing wine bottles on their heads while dancing a Russian folk Gazotrski) in tryout in Washington, D.C. - one week before the opening in New York. It became a show stopper." HOL/248
